- CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
No deaths occurred nor abnormal symtoms in any of treated or control groups throughout the study.
There were also no abnormal symtoms in the general conditions of the satellite group.
Appearance, behaviour, mortality, body weight gain, food consumption, water intake and food efficiency of rats treated were not affected throughout the study.
LABORATORY FINDINGS:
In the interim examination of the satellite group in weeks 5, 9 and 13, there were no abnormalities in urinanalysis, hematology and clinical chemistry parameters attrtibuted to the test material.
In the terminal examination at the end of the treatment period of 13 weeks, there were no abnormalities in urinanalysis, hematology, clinical chemistry, necropsy, organ weight and histopathology parameters attributed to the test material.
EFFCTS IN ORGANS:
There were no significant changes between the treated and control groups or absolute and relative organ weight.
In absolute organ weight, pituitary weight of females fed 15000 ppm, thymic gland, heart, lung, liver and kidney of females fed 50000 ppm increased significantly when compared with those of the control group. In relative organ weight, thymic gland and kidney decreased in females fed 5000 ppm and relative brain weight decreased in females fed 50000 ppm.
Histopathological changes were seen in the pituitary, thyroids, thymus, liver, kidney, stomach, duodenum, urinary bladder, testis, prostate and skeletal muscle of treated or control animals. These abnormalities were spontaneous or accidental changes, normal for species and ages of the test animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In a 13-week repeated dose toxicity oral feed study, rats were treated at concentrations up to 50000 ppm. No significant adverse toxic effects were observed at 50000 ppm in the parameters examined.
The NOAEL is considered to be 50000 ppm; equivalent to 3020 mg/kg bw/day in males and 3240 mg/kg bw/day in females.
